Picture Postcard Cottage of immense character in an idyllic peaceful setting

A cosy cottage situated within the southern edge of the Lake District National Park, hidden away in its own grounds of half an acre of woodland. Near to Grange over Sands, just 15 minutes from the M6, a mile from the A590 makes it the perfect peaceful base for exploring by foot, cycle, car or train.

Easy access to Cartmel, Windermere, Kendal and Morecambe Bay area. Well equipped for a relaxing break.

Suitability

wheelchair inaccessible

Notes

Situated in a very peaceful location and of immense external character, with limestone walls and an attractive slate roof, the 100 year old cottage has been tastefully modernised internally and combines all that is needed for perfectly relaxed holiday living. The cottage boasts a pleasant and secluded al fresco eating area with an all weather barbecue. Close by – a pub serving food (60 yards - hidden away though the woods!), woodland and coastal walks, Cumbria Cycle Way, the nearby Netherwood Hotel with its indoor spa pool and Jacuzzi, an ice-cream farm and the facilities of the Victorian resort of Grange over Sands, which include many specialist shops, promenade and train station. Get up early and there is a good chance you will see one or more of the deer that pass through the grounds. Barn owls, woodpeckers, jays, nut hatches are frequent visitors - especially if you leave out some food on the bird table - watch the squirrels don't eat it first!

We stayed at Rose Cottage for New Years and couldn’t have been happier. The cottage was toasty warm when we arrived and all our needs catered for in a very thoughtful way. Loved the jacuzzi bath after a long day walking!

There were even Xmas decorations to make the cottage feel like home. We will be returning 😀

We used this as a base for cycling in the Lake District. We were really lucky with the weather and this was a very welcoming cool place to return to at the end of the day. We tended to eat out at lunchtime and cook for ourselves in the evening and the kitchen is well-equipped for this.

If I were to suggest an improvement, from a personal view only, the trees at the back could be trimmed to provide more sunshine in the evening, encouraging more use of the lovely space at the rear of the property.

I have recommended this property to friends :)

The garden is a great asset and a tranquil place to sit and read.

The only niggle was that, with the upper bunk above, it is difficult to sit up in bed and read and there is no lamp or light switch near the bed.

Apart from that I would happily return.

Rose Cottage has everything anyone wants renting a cottage. The rear of the property is surrounded with trees, giving a home to wildlife, Woodpecker; blue tits; great tits; Jay's; Chaffinch; Collared Doves replenish the perfectly placed feeders and watch them feed in their pleasure and during the evening hear the hooting Owl......Easy walk/cycle to Grange-over-Sands promenade/town. Short drive to all the magnificent Fells and glorious Lakes.....Or stay cosy in the cottage and cook with every required implement provided. We loved it....... Whether Winter, Spring, Summer or Autumn we will return
